WAR INVENTIONS
NOW PROVE BOON
TO WORKING GIRL
New Appliances Permit Wom
en to Operate Heavy
Machinery.
"Special devices worked out during
the war to regulate machines so that
Women might operate them hare been
the most valuable results of the war In
the Industrial world,” Mr*. L. Lnella
Cox, director of the department of wom
en and children of the Industrial Board
of Indiana, said today.
“Efforts were made and success was
obtained in inventing devices which
made it possible for women to operate
the heavy operated
by men, declared Mrs. Cox.
"These Inventions have proved Just as
valuable In peace times; Just as val
uable in conserving thfc time and energy
of men as that of women.
"Had it not been for the war. we
must remember, these improvements
would not have been made, for a number
of years at least.
Speaking of the numbe'r of women
who entered industrial work during the
war, and are still employed. Mrs. Cox
stated that no accurate estimates can
be made until the data of the 1920 cen
sus Is completed.
‘‘During the twenty-five years preced
ing the war,” said Mrs. Cox, “women
were entering industrial work in greater
proportion than the men.
“And ten years preceding the war
their entry was greater than the In
crease in the population.
“I know that a much larger number of
women are employed in all types of em
ployment than preceding the war.
“However, all women who entered the
commercial world either through a spirit
of patriotism or of adventure, attracted
by the large wages, have left their work.”
Mrs. Cox said that to her knowledge
only one concern which took women on
during the war had released them en
tirely.
“Many have reduced their number of
wartime female employes, or have shifted
them to other departments,” she con
tinued.
“Some concerns have foUDd female help
so efficient that they are increasing their
number.
“In general, employers say that women
workers are more conscientious, are mose
easily managed, and are better satisfied
with their work, therefore causing less
disturbance in the business.”
Mrs. Cox said that she had noticed in
some instances that younger women were
being taken on in place of the older ones
who were transferred to other depart
ments requiring less active work.
••We have not noticed the change from
war-time to peace-time,” said Mrs. Cox,
"because many of the war-time plants
have resumed their normal occupations
and -placed women in them, while many
others have been absorbed by other in
dustries.”
Discussing the unusual occupations of
women during the war, Mrs. Cox said
•taht in gll instances which had come un
der her observation men had replaced the
women.
“Conductoreti, railroad yard tenders
and overhead electricians are not seen
any more.”

price. And that’s where Spur comes in.
For men who judge a cigarette by ita
looks, by its blend, by its taste—well, Spur
was made for them. Money can’t buy any

that good old tobacco taste. .

BACK STAGE AT MURAT LIKE HOME
With Walker Players Actin’ Like Home Folks
. By WALTER I>. HECKMAN.
Was piloted back stage of the Murat
the other night by Harold Holstein and
there found John Wray, the object of
onr search, dressed up in an overcoat,
hat and cane, waitin’ for his cue.
The second act of “The Storm Bird”
was under way.
Wray, dressed up like Solomon Hal
ford, the “vulgar rich” uncle of the Tet
sons. shook hands and said with his
character accent, “ ’Cnse me. Be back
shortly.”
I then noticed that a very important
gentleman was walking across the stage
in full view of the audience toward the
secluded spot occupied by Wray.
The important person was Garden, the
butler, and played by Robert McGroarty,
coming to admit-Wray in answer tea
buzzer.
The butler walked right up to Wray—
the audience couldn’t see this, as it hap
pened in a ‘hallway’—very formally
bowed to Wray and then Solomon Hal
ford followed the important person into
the stage living room of the Tetsons.
Wray had forgotten that Wray ex
isted—he was now Solomon Halford.
AND THE STORM
WAS VERY CEOSE.
Holstein offered n.e a chair very close
to a stack of drums and some strango
looking apparatus and then deserted me.
The discovery W3s soon made that
Holstein had placed his visitor very
close to the “storm”—that is part of the
apparatus used in making the thunder
for the fine storm scene in the first act.
Giad he didn’t place me near the
lightning, as one can never tell where
it will strike and-1 have no faith in
lightning rods.
After a short scene, Wray rejoined
me and he was then himself as he had
forgotten all about Solomon for 'ten
short minutes.
When Solomon left the stage he was
supposed to be going out for a smoke,
but I didn’t see any smokes.
“I like this part very much,” said
Wray. “The authors have created some
real characters and when a part is not
real an actor is nearly helpless.”
WRAY THINKS
OF HOME AND WIFE.
Then the actor thought of his wife
and little son near New York City.
It’s funny how an actor’s thoughts
travel back to home, the good wife and
the kiddle when we usually think of a
player always being a good looking
bachelor.
And yet here was Wray, who has
firmly established himself in Indianapo
lis and other cities as a capable, sincere
and highly efficient character artist,
thinking of the greatest thing in a man’s
life —home.
"MOTHER” DOWRY
JOINS FAMILY CIRCLE.
About that time Thomas Kelly as
Garth Tetson came on the stage and
successfully pleaded with hU “mother,”
Jndith Lowry, to come into the music
room and “put her foot on the pianola.’’
While someone else was working the
pianola Judith Lowry came to our side
of the stage and took a chair in the
wings.
She radiates a motherly atmosphere
when not even acting, and that probably
HE’S HUMAN
JOHN WRAY.
Here’s John Wray, character actor
with the Walkef Players, who has
achieved a splendid triumph as Solomon
Halford in “‘The Storm Bird,” on view
this week at the Murat.
Yes, he’s married and has a hoy.
Recently was with “The Ouija Board”
in New York.
ip why she is so loved by all members
of the company.
George Sonmes, the “rascal” of the
play, and the fellow who gets the pearls,
came up like any peirson would and had
a little chat with the stage mother, Ju
dith Lowry.
Then the family group was increased
by -Blanche Yurka, leading woman ot
the company, who came up smilingly
and Joined the little family group.
It was all Just like a little gathering
at any American home, this meeting of
leading woman, the stage mother and the
black sheep.
Frank McNeills strolled on the stage
and had a few words.
McNeills has aged In the last four
days—be Is playing an elderly part this
week and the white hairs he wears this
week are not there to stay. His wife
wouldn’t stand for that.
“It is a pleasure to work with Mtss
Yurka and all the others,” said Wray.
"And it is wonderful how Mr. Walker
brings this little point out and de
velops that character while producing a
play.”
As it was about time for Wray to be
come Solomon again, I bade Wray “good
night.”
And I realized more than ever the
great contribution of Stuart Walker to
the theater—that of a healthful and a
human back stage.

Ah! It’s Speed That
Gov. Goodrich Wants
t
That speed will be one of the principal
features of the special session of the
state legislature was the opinion of
many, when it was learned that Gov.
Goodrich will have all bills printed and
distributed to the desks of the members
of the legislature on the opening day.
Immediate introduction of the bills is
practically assured.
The plan will eliminate much of the
delay caused in the Introduction of bills.
Gov. Goodrich probably will not call
the special session until every bill which
he believes should be introduced is pre
pared.
None of the bills has been printed yet.
and many are of the opinion that the
session will not be called next week.
Among the IIUI3 which are ejected to
be introduced by Gov. Goodrich in his
message is the memorial for the soldiers
of Indiana who served in the recent war
and the horizontal tax bill.
